Sifton Says Business in the West Is Good. ’A despateh from Ottawa. » says: Hon. Arthur L. Sifton, Premier ‘of Alberta, is not one of the men from the west who takes much stock in the “blue ruin” cry which tight money ‘conditions have produced. He arrived in Ottawa on Thursday, and to the" Canadian Press said that general business in the west is good, with a hopeful outlook for even better things. “Among real estate men business may be quiet just now,” he said, “but I assure you that, financially and industrial- ly, there is very little to complain about, Alberta will, I think, _ be able to look after her financial af- fairs without much trouble, if any, because of the rapid growth going on everywhere.” Hon. Mr. Sifton said that the harvest promises to be bountiful. Splendid Bill Prepared for the Can- adian “National Exhibition. - The circus and hippodrome at the Canadian National Exhibition, To~ ronto, this year 'willlhe more «varied and interesting than ever before.

Then there are a. swarm of acrobatic acts, each of which has a world~wide reputation, swarms of clowns to furnish the laughs, equesâ€" trienne acts, chariot races, auto polo, and a. few thrillers. Add all this to the musical ride, the musi- cal surprise, a, big cadet number, Nero. and the Burning of Rome, the Wreck of the Airship, and a. double bill of fireworks, and you have to admit that the Canadian National Exhibition in keeping well ahead of the procession in the mt- ter of amusements. fimn T0 COMPLAIN ABOUT Lieutenant-Governor’s Term Ex- tended a Year.

ARTHUR OF CONNAUCHT The interesting suggestion has been made in a cable to Montreal that Prince Arthur assume at his marriage the title “Duke of Canada," Last night the item which appeared in The Star was the subject of many conver- sations and sdme controversy.

Thaw, the slayer of Stanford White, escaped from the hospital for the criminal insane here at 7:45 o’clock on Sun- day morning. A dart for liberty through an open gate, a, dash in the open door of a powerful automo- bile that stood .quivering outside, and a, flight like a, rocket for the Connecticut ' State line, ' 30 miles away, accomplished his escape. At night he was still at large, and the hospital authorities felt certain he was outside the State. Once beâ€" yond its boundaries Thaw is free. Only months, perhaps years, of litiâ€" gation can bring him back to Mat- teawan, and then only in one ‘eve‘ntâ€"that he be adjudged insane {in the State to which he has fled. Wheat Yield Will‘Scarcely Exceed Fifty Millions; A despatch from Brandon, Mani-’ toba, says: Taking Manitoba as a Whole, judged from observations made in the northerly districts last week, it is the opinion that the average yield in all grains will be lighter and the aggregate , crop smaller in volume than has been seen in this Province since 1910'. Wheat, 'for instance, hardly yields more than a fifty. million bushel crop for Manitoba this year, which would be eight million bushels less than last year, when the area was ipractically the same size as it is gthis/ season. Cats and barley are \eorrespondin'gly light. The condi- tions south of the main line of the C.P.R. are responsible for the gen- eral lowering of the average proâ€" duction throughout the Province.

A despabch from London, says: The mental condition of Suffraget- hes was the subject of a. paper by the famous surgeon, Nelson Hardy, before the Medical Congress on Wednesday. Part of his address was ruled out as “politics,” but he was permitted to say: “These wo~ men, many well educated and care- fully raised, who commit crimes worthy of savages and disregard all the laws, human and divine, are victims-of an epidemic of mental disorder.” George Hewitt, an employee of the McCormick Biscuit Manufac- wring Company at Londony was fatally crushed between the eleva- tor? and the floor, on Friday.
